Pay the man!

All alone right now, 10 games over .500

And we're back!

Yeah, on one hand, I find that amazing and comforting, but the other side of me says we could have a lead now.

Hey, wait. What are those Yankees doing up there? Better do something about that.

Back to a tie today?

I know it is sweet to see us on top, but looks good to see the Yanks on the bottom.

Red Sox lead 4-3. Do we lose the lead tonight?

I think about this with us in first as well. When do we stop seeing a small sample size and agree this could be the true team?

Just looked at the standings and I can't believe the Red Sox are in second!

Let's never let this go! All the way to game 162!

Anyone have updates on any others during Spring Training?

Nelson Cruz, hitting .080 in Spring Training, he is 2-25, with 1HR and 1RBI

Yeah, I agree about the Yanks, if you buy older players, injuries happen. I don't think we got hit that hard this year, but last season was hard. It may not have calculated up to the amount of others, but it was who was hurt (or out like Davis' suspension) and the time they happened to be out.

I don't have an issue with the trade in and of itself. I just think we should have been sellers.

Not blaming Parra, but pointing out how little the needle has moved compared to playing Snider, Reimold and company out there.

What has our record been since trading for Parra? Has the offense been better? What about the OF defense?

As Roch posted, at least we got the game in and avoided a double header

In this past offseason, would you have given up Davies for Parra?

Can we go on one? I remember not having many losing streaks last year, but it didn't seem like we had any long winning streaks either. [video=youtube;MLCLMEYp9s0]

I pray this gets used over and over again this year

He really intrigues me. Anyone think we see him up in 2015? How's his defense, the thing you need to have to play for Buck?

If you really want to find out how much injuries hurt a team, do a comparison of WAR of Player A compared to the player who took his place to see how much injuries affected a particular team. For example, compare Weiters WAR to Joseph/Hundley and see the difference.

When I said to redo the numbers, I did not mean that a starting pitcher is worth more or less than a position player. The listing was giving just games missed, not how much they meant to the team. We could talk about that too, but let's list the acual games that the starting pitchers would have missed so we have a fair comparison on that single piece of information alone.
